Parallel LCD on OS X

By C.K. Sample, III

Our sister-blog, Hack A Day, features a neat little hack today, where one of their readers hooked a parallel LCD up to an OS X machine using a USB to parallel cable intended for use with a printer. All for less than $20.

Check out this site for all the details, some pics, and an explanation for those of you who are scratching your heads and thinking "Why?" He has some interesting bits there, including a plan to write a display plug-in for Growl. Neat.
